No, no, livestock (I don’t regard chickens as livestock) were not mentioned and I directed my comments to this situation only and was not making a statement of principle about what I believe under all circumstances.

And you substantiated my remark that I would not want to be your neighbor.

Are you a Hatfield or McCoy?

I am a pretty average representative of people who grew up on farms I guess.

I even recognize that chickens provide eggs and meat and are quintessential livestock. Been a while since I ate a store bought egg.

Yeah yeah, Hatfields and Mccoys. The whole mocking farmers thing.

I get it, and it perfectly explains everything about you and it explains your posts on this thread.

If you are farming 100,000 broilers for some chicken corporation you’re likely not to get too worked up if a dog or cat eats a few every now and then

If you’re a rural Gadsden flag sort who knows their laying hens and rooster by name you’re likely to take it personal

I have two big uncut Rotts on my small horse place .....they do not mess with the horses....knowing death when they see it.....and I have a cattle operation next door with Angus on a few hundred acres

My dogs have never gone after the calves

I had an American bulldog that would have and I had to give him away

This is pretty unusual cause my experience with Pyrenees is they are usually devoted to their flock or herd

Btw I don’t think most here except the most hard bitten would have executed the dog in front of the kids

I certainly would not have
